I really recommend you check out the Canon's 640x480 picture and sound. Canon's point and shoot cameras generally shoot fantastic colours and have great sound. And obviously they double as great stills cameras as well... so they're useful things to slip into your pocket. I love them for videoblogging. Also Canon stores clips in AVI files, which go into Movie Maker nicely.
